I took pre-calculus my sophomore year, and our teacher gave us a test towards the end of the year. My friend didn’t know the answer to one of the questions, so he wrote “I don’t know, so here’s a dinosaur,” and drew a triceratops. a couple weeks later, he gets it back, and our teacher has replied “Here’s mine,” and added a T-Rex. It made our day.

I did that exact same thing in my general studies exam! I also wrote an acrostic poem about general studies and gave the examiner some life tips.
I got a U.
Paleontologists ruled recently that Triceratops is not really a dinosaur in its own. Apparently, it’s a juvenile form of Torosaurus.
But it’s okay, Triceratops. I’m not a dinosaur either.
“But it’s okay, Triceratops. I’m not a dinosaur either.” You just made my day
Actually it’s Torosaurus that’s “not really a dinosaur.” Triceratops was named first, so the name Torosaurus, despite referring to more mature specimens, is considered a junior synonym.
I totally do this on every assignment where I don’t know the answer.
Mlia!
Heh?
Ohhh, wait, never mind. Lightbulb just went off. MLIA = My Life is Average. Derp :3
Haha. I remember when Triceratops was a dinosaur….
Also, I hope your teacher gave you bonus points. Generally, if I don’t know, I’m just honest, eg. “I blanked and I got nothing else…” However, in a Classical Mythology class, I couldn’t remember the ending in order to answer the quiz question, so I completely made something up – pink flamingos and belly dancers were involved. When I got my test back, my teacher wrote “bonus points for creativity.” Lol.
I suddenly feel like I wasted a ton of potential by just leaving those questions blank…
Me too. Almost maks me wish I was back in school.
Almost.
Lol, maybe I should go back to school, because I apparently can’t spell “makes.” Gahhh.
I’m in my Freshman year of high school and I’m taking pre-calc, but I doubt my teacher would accept a dinosaur as an answer. She’s just not cool like that.
